The Real Demon

Chunin finals pt2

Dedicated steely eyes examined up and down what seemed to be an old samurai warrior. Both patiently stood a few feet from eachother not making or projecting a single move.

Tension was palpable, a feeling of impending doom sorrounding the aura of both combatants.

From the stands everyone was fully imvested on the events that were about to par take. Many awe struck at the changes these two genin had gone through in just one month.

Naruko was the first to make a move, dissappearing in a flash. Followed by a loud shockwake that raised a cloud of dust big enough to cover the entire arena in les than a second.

Nothing else was heard, and as the dust settled down. Mugen stood in the same spot. Intact, and gripping the Uzumaki's wrist with his left hand.

The crowd gasped at what they had just witnessed.

"That all you got?" Mugen said unamused, with legitimate dissappointment to his tone.

Naruko's eyes widened intensely.

'What the hell I hit him with a large rasengan, it should have hit him even if he grabbed my wrist'

A right hook from him immediately came at incredible speed, sending Naruko to roll on the ground for a few feet.

Mugen followed by rushing at her with his short katana ready to slash at her.

She stood up in the blink of an eye, and backstepped from an incoming slash from mugen, his approach was a very begginer one for any sword user.

The purpose of this novice tactic was shown, when he gracefully used the momentum of the failed slash, to transfer into a beautifully coordinated spinning backfoot kick from his left foot.

One that again met with Naruko's face from the left side.

Not losing momentum he followed up with a round house from his right that once again contacted the same spot. All too quick for Naruko to even react.

Everyone looked into this transfer amazed. At the beauty of his tai jutsu.

"Clearly he's a novice swordsman, and compensating by taijutsu" Kushina spoke from the stands to Jiraiya. Both of them overconfidently looking at the fight.

Mugen continued his barrage by stepping down on his right foot, and using momentum to stab at Narukos forehead.

Something she barely managed to dodge.

Kushinas eyes widened at the sight, if he had done this with his long sword the match would have been over.

Naruko finally answered back with a right hook that intentionally missed as well. Frog Kumite, a technique she had learnt after achieving sage mode.

The energy from the attack, hit Mugen's helmet hard enought to put him on the ground, and make a couple small cracks on his face plate.

The force of the impact was still felt, enough to give him a pulsating pain in his head.

Naruko was no better for wear with the small conccussion she had recieved by her opponents raw strength.

She followed her attack by making another massive rasengan and attacking him at incredible speeds.

The shockwave left, a massive crater on the ground, but Mugen had shunshiined away at the last second, like a ghost that faced in and out of reality he was no longer in Naruko's sight, invisible in the cloud of dust that her attack had created.

Slash

She felt the sharp pain of a cut on the back of her thighs, a laceration, her leg was still working, though blood slowly dripped out.
